on tablet apps I have a understanding that you may need to shuffle the app to the foreground and wait a bit, absolutely nothing beats the speed of an ir remote and for years I always had one around just for pause and mute.
I'm currently not using the volume controll in my most used squeezebox the one in my hifi. But I do use another app as universal remote, and that app is faster to reload than any of the squeezeapps, so mute and volume is avaible to me in a reasonable time,( but not as fast as an ir remote). However I find the controller design a bit puzzling, it has different cpu speeds and sleep levels all over, but it must load the full UI with visible pictures etc before responding to pause or volume ? If it just polled the pause the button even in it's lowest mode it would be much better ( for when the phone rings ). But then it have powersaved itself out of the wifi so it wants to reconect :-/ I have noticed that controller is slow and that fixed ip makes it faster as dhcp negotiation takes time even at a human scale on that device ( urgh ). The iPad is faster and have more battery it is back on the network in a much shorter time from any sleep mode dhcp or not. so yes I'm still devoted to iPeng and SqueezePad and after using them for a long time now I need both iPeng has more functions and some things I really like SqueezePad is sligthly faster for pause and skip when coming out of sleep I think ? an enhancement req for both theese apps would be to have some more visible clue to when it's ready to send a command to the server, you can look out for when the playlist jolts to the rigth track but I think they are ready sligthly before that happens. maybe grey out the pause button if it cant be used for example, it does happen that i press it and nothing happens now and then -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
